Overwatch 2 October 25 update: Bastion and Torbjorn return
Overwatch 2 on October 25 is also set to bring missing DPS heroes Bastion and Torbjorn back to the game for the first time in 15 days.
A MAP RETURNS
At the same time that Bastion and Torbjorn were removed from Overwatch 2, the Junkertown map was also removed. The map was removed due to a bug that caused “graphical performance issues” according to Blizzard.
However, according to the forum post mentioned above, Blizzard will reintroduce Junkertown to Overwatch 2 in the October 25 update.
